Disgraced ex-New York state Sen. Dean Skelos requested bail pending appeal Monday, saying he is almost certain to be granted a new trial — thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Skelos’ lawyers said the high court’s decision to overturn the corruption conviction of Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell will almost certainly help the Long Island Republican, who was sentenced to five years and fined $500,000 for using his political influence to land his son high-paying jobs.

McDonnell’s bribery conviction was tossed last month after the Supreme Court ruled that his conduct — accepting lavish gifts from a businessman in exchange for meetings and a lunch at the governor’s mansion — fell short of bribery because the government could not prove he accepted the gifts in exchange for an “official act,” like legislation.

Unlike the McDonnell case, jurors found that Skelos used his official position to benefit companies that were employing his son, Adam, including through votes for legislation.

But Skelos’ lawyers said prosecutors in his case also turned “innocent conduct,” like meetings, into evidence of corruption at his trial, thus giving him a second shot.

“The Skeloses will likely be entitled (at a minimum) to a new trial under McDonnell,” his lawyers wrote to Manhattan federal judge Kimba Wood.
